Odd. First time that I have seen the use of an ATF in a manual transmission gear box. I'm used to seeing heavy gear oils (i.e. 75W).
So in my case, since this is the original fluid, it can be either conventional or
synthetic in the gearbox? Not knowing which one it is, I would probably want to drain and re-fill instead of topping off 'blindly' with a certain type of fluid that might not be compatible with what is in there now.
Any idea as to what the recommended change interval is for this fluid? Also, how much fluid does the transmission take?
